Her Bucket List (2021)

Intriguing start but it is just an ordinary feel good drama

I was excited to watch this because this is the first time I am seeing Kim SoHye act. I found her cute on Produce 101 and I always wondered how would she be like while acting. It was a pleasant surprise to see Na InWoo too. I'm really curious what other works he had after seeing him on Mr. Queen. Anyways, this is definitely a different role from what I have seen from him in Mr. Queen. He's kind of a bit awkward on this one.

When I read the plot it is quite intriguing for me. It's kind of unique from most romance dramas I have seen. There was nothing really extraordinary about it however I liked how simple it was presented. There were times were the scene felt like too much. There were also few times where I feel like SoHye's make up doesn't suit her face exactly. In terms of romance, the chemistry is good however it doesn't have that much of a spark unlike other dramas. I think the plot lacks depth that's why it turned out mediocre. I can see the potential of the casts here. I really wish to see them on other good dramas.

The songs are a bit repetitive although I admit that the songs were appropriate and it feels good to hear however I felt like it was played a lot of times that it kind of felt boring. InWoo's voice is really warm and comforting if I may say. Do I recommend this drama? Yes, because I love the casts and the story is decent enough at the same time no, because there were parts that I felt boring or a bit draggy. If you have the time though, why not watch it and see for yourself. It's less than 3 hours to watch anyway.

Don't waste your time on this drama!

I originally decided to watch this drama because it was short and I thought the plot sounded interesting. Now, I want the time I spent watching this drama back!!

It's a shame because the first few episodes were really good, or at least good enough for me to ignore the problems that were already noticeable. It started depicting a woman struggling with grief, a man trying to overcome his trauma... But starting with ep. 6, it all became a mess.

Like, the twist was ridiculous. And from the romance angle, the FL was a cruel jerk to the ML and was against being with him to the very end; I could understand her reasons, but it still didn't justify her behaviour. I honestly wanted ML to have stayed single or ended up with his hoobae (who just disappeared with no context lol).

The editing, the sound, and the acting was really bad too. Scenes continued well after actors had finished saying their dialogue so the camera was just focused on people looking awkwardly forward. You could barely hear what the dialogue was at times because the audio got loud or quietly randomly. The acting was so amateurish but I could have overlooked that if the story was good. Only the visual quality and cinematography was okay; otherwise, a couple of YouTubers with a $50 budget and a potato could be able to make a better end product.

I hope I'll see the cast in something that's actually good. 4.5/10 from me.
